Author Event with Vishwas R. Gaitonde
Sep 23 @ 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Hub City Bookshop

Vishwas R. Gaitonde will read from his debut story collection, On Earth as It Is in Heaven, which won The Orison Fiction Prize.

“This luminous collection of short stories spans the globe, introducing us to memorable characters and written in exquisite prose. The men and women in these tales—many of whom are émigrés and expatriates—struggle to make sense of the customs and traditions of their new homes while also negotiating the passages of their personal and familial relationships. I was deeply moved by these stories and the characters’ travails and triumphs. It is indeed a pleasure to welcome this fantastic new voice in world literature.” —David Heska Wanbli Weiden
